Chapter 37 – Beloved Shin-Ra

Translated by Mecorx, Proofread by Crashouch

Reno, who had been listening to the pair’s whispered conversation from outside the hospital room door, went back to the waiting room, where Tseng was waiting.

“They don’t seem to know what Fabio was trying to do. They totally believe the story I made up.”

“Are you sure?”

“I mean, they’re crying, after all. Maybe Kyrie could pull it off, but Evan can’t act at all, right?”

“He did it for Evan. What do you think about the fact that Fabio said that?”

“I dunno. But that came from Throp, right? Wonder if it’s trustworthy…” Reno shook his head and sat down next to the sofa, next to Tseng. “Let’s make sure we ask that Throp guy about it later, huh, Chief… but, there’s something I wanted to ask you…”

“What is it?”

“Evan intended to go to Nibelheim to search for his missing mother. But he said he was giving up on that a while ago… you think we could we fly him there with the helicopter?”

“Hmm… Nibelheim, huh?”

“It’s pretty close by helicopter, isn’t it?”

“Alright, fine.”

“I knew it, Chief! I knew you’d get it.”

“But, Elena and I will take him.”

“Why?”

“I don’t mind being the beloved Shin-Ra… but Shin-Ra are also not to be messed with.”

“You mean, I’m being messed with?”

“I wonder. It’s just that you’re too committed. It’s not a good sign.”

“Well, he is the President’s brother.”

Tseng listened to those words, and decided to carry on in a professional manner. Persuading a subordinate as compassionate as this one was no easy task. “You and Rude will be taking over our duties. Stay here and wait for our colleagues to report in.”

“Well, I guess I can do that…”

“It will be good to renew old friendships.”

“Chief, I’ll leave Evan and company with you, then.”

Tseng left the clinic without saying anything.
